Also there is NO emoji of a red space whale shooting zombie nazis with his jizz... I feel like this has severely inhibited my development.
Catman232
All these emoji depend on ASCII characters right? So it's not even Apple who are responsible really is it?
ThePretzelFamily
Correct. There are also reserved characters for future use, so maybe this was always there just not implemented lol

imgur hates women
midquest
Oh, the logical fallacy. Why can't Imgur deal with people wanting to be represented without smugly assuming they're dysfunctional?
midquest
Beibg happy about an emoji =/= being incapable of functioning without said emoji. Let people be happy. Imgur is best when it's inclusive.

Social gender order has a billion tiny reasons. Stuff like this makes a tiny change.

I agree

as a girl - its just. an. emoji. over in the west it'll make no change whatsoever.

I'm starting to see slightly rational people here, and while I hate the whole circle jerk, seriously. It's not that big of a fuckin deal.

It's just an emoji. You aren't being oppressed because there's only a tiny image of a man running.

Are you literally equating having a female emoji (something over half the population is) as a ridiculous exception? Why is the default male?

I'm calling bullshit on this form of petty symbolism and slacktivism. This changes nothing at all. Yet self-righteous douchebags love it.

No. The problem is that the default gender is always male. You can't possibly get around your own experiences to see the effects of that
spankatorium
"problem"
tangybreath
Haha, right. The fact that the default setting on everything is male is totally cool. Of course, to males. Why would it bother them?

Yeah, as a white, heterosexual male, I really don't see an issue about a few people wanting a specific emoji.

EXACTLY. Just because something is posted doesn't mean it's some huge, life changing event. They post like 40 articles a day.

why is there something so wrong with inclusion?

You call it 'inclusion', but it's really just a euphemism for 'petty symbolism'.
fuck123456789
you dont understand how seeing the default be male/white/straight can really effect someone do you
spankatorium
I like how you try to rationalize your personal desire to petty symbolism as part of a greater problem. Yet, it isn't.
spankatorium
Go visit an actual different non-white culture. And no, I don't mean 'Take a taxi through Chinatown'.
spankatorium
You'll soon figure out that outside of your sheltered life, no one gives a fuck about Apple emoji's and your support in changing them.
XaiaX
When something gets more inclusive, it reminds people they didn't realize it wasn't. So they get mad at you for making them notice.
Reccid
Why is there something wrong with pointing out how pathetic your life is that an emoji gives you joy?
poochyena
How are women being excluded by there not being a female runner emoji?
tangybreath
Why is the default emoji sex always male?
poochyena
By what logic do you see that? I thought most emojis were yellow genderless faces.
fuck123456789
it calls the default of the human experience male
poochyena
how?
ibelongtotheinternet
Because people who are consistently represented don't realize how important it is to be represented
FallingWithStyleSquirrel
That was perfectly succinct. I'm stealing it.
VictusUnus
Imgur doesn't understand how small tiny things can reinforce hurtful views.
BasisPoints
However, if we version every emoji for every gender and race, arent we reinforcing the very concept that we dont seeing everyone as equals?
FallingWithStyleSquirrel
Not at all. I don't follow your logic here.
arandomfish
No. Difference does not imply inequality.
BasisPoints
Isn't that the very premise of demanding versioned emojis in the first place? That since there is inequality, each must be represented?
arandomfish
You're equivocating. I was talking equal value as humans, and you know it.
ManOfIce
Oh god, micro aggressions.
JohnathanJacobJinglySchmidt

Emoji should be genderless. The people demanding gendered emoji are the fuckheads who started this shit in the first place.
XandarianNovaPrime
Remember when they were just yellow smilies. The world was a simpler place then.
fuck123456789
ok, how do you show genderless
brakeurself
We already had male, and female, and then we had tiny people who were mainly male. And so, emojis are just tiny pictures showing an action.
brakeurself
So, coming from a girl, they don't really mean jackshit. If you can get the idea across, who the fuck cares if its a girl or boy?

According to Huffpo this shows how men argue with woman online about things, like rape culture, how easy it is to be a woman and wage gaps.
